Assume that all quantities are good to 3 significant figures...do not start rounding off too early or too much! All numeric answers should be entered rounded to 3 significant figures and assuming proper SI Units unless otherwise stated.
Consider just these 2 forces acting on a mass of 2.79 kg. F1 = 8.36 N @ 21.5 degrees and F2 = 6.80 N @ 76.7 degrees where the angles are measured relative to the +x direction. What is the magnitude of the acceleration produced considering only these 2 forces acting?

However, the acceleration decreases as an object moves away from the Earth's surface due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at a distance h above the surface of the Earth, gh.

Consequently, the orbiter descended too far into the Martian atmosphere and burned up. Suppose that the orbiter was to have established orbit at 157 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as 1.57 x 10³ m. Suppose further that a second group of engineers programmed the orbiter to go to 1.57 x 10³ ft.

- Newton's universal law of gravitation can be stated as the force F of gravitation between two objects varies jointly as the masses m, and m, of the objects, and Gm,m2 inversely as the square of the distance r between their centers, where G is the constant of proportionality. In other words, F = The weight of an object is the force F on the object due to gravity, where F = mg. State how g (the acceleration due to gravity) varies with respect to the mass m, of the spherical body on which the object lies, and the radius of that body (assume all of the mass is at its center.).
